Lily, the next 5-star Resonator joining Wuthering Waves, now has a confirmed combat identity. Kuro Games tied her reveal to Version 3.8, and she is currently the only new unit slated for that patch.
Quick answer: Lily uses the Spectro Attribute and wields Pistols.
Lily’s Attribute and weapon type in Wuthering Waves
Her two core combat properties are set. Spectro places her among the game’s diffraction-type Resonators, and Pistols give her a ranged weapon slot. The pairing is relatively uncommon on the roster, which has drawn attention to how her kit might play.
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Name | Lily |
| Rarity | 5-star |
| Attribute | Spectro |
| Weapon | Pistols |
| Region | New Federation / Federated Cities |
| Version | 3.8, Phase 1 |
Her signature weapon has not been shown yet. That detail typically arrives alongside the full kit during a version preview broadcast, which has not been scheduled.
Who Lily is and her expected role
Lily is a young perfumer whose sense of smell is much keener than an ordinary person’s. She uses fragrances to create brief, calming dreams; each sleeper has a different experience, and the dreams last for different amounts of time. Her character introduction reads:
“A young perfumer swept up in the Federated Cities’ Resonator War, whose rare Resonance Ability made her a psychotherapist to the soldiers around her. She could not stop the war. What a gentle girl could do was save whoever stood in front of her, with everything she had.”
This description suggests a healer, not a damage dealer. Leaks further suggest she may heal from off-field and provide Unison support, potentially making her a natural teammate for Hsin and Suoming in Unison teams. Treat that team role as a prediction until her full kit is revealed.
She is also connected to the New Federation, the region anticipated to open in Version 4.0. A debut in 3.8 would make her one of the first faces of that coming arc.
The Flower of Tinged Yearning Echo set
Version 3.7 introduced a Sonata Effect that still has no obvious user, and its bonuses suit a Spectro healer. The set rewards repeated healing and Unison triggers, in keeping with Lily’s rumored support role.
| Bonus | Effect |
|---|---|
| 2-piece | Healing Bonus +10% |
| 5-piece | Healing a team Resonator raises all Resonators’ ATK by 10% for 30s |
| Unison | During the buff, either gaining Unison or activating Unison Response grants an additional 15% ATK |
If you plan to pull for her, you can start farming Flower of Tinged Yearning now, but hold off on locking main stats until her kit confirms whether she wants Healing Bonus or ATK.
Lily’s release window in WuWa 3.8
Based on the patch cycle, Version 3.8 is expected to launch around November 12, 2026. Since Lily is the only new unit in the update, she is set to appear in Phase 1 and debut on the same day. Some servers may show her a day earlier depending on time zone.
No official preview broadcast date has been confirmed yet, and that stream is where her complete kit and signature weapon are expected to be detailed. Until then, the Spectro Attribute, Pistols weapon, and 5-star rarity are the locked-in facts to plan around.
